Morning Buzz: 5 things to know for March 5

1. It's Fat Tuesday, which means West Michigan Bakeries are going to be busy today. Marge's Donut Den, located on 28th Street in Wyoming, opened at 4 a.m. and will close at 6 p.m.

They offer 12 different flavors of paczki, including apple, peach, blueberry, and the traditional prune. Customers can choose from granulated or powdered sugar.

The store started taking orders over a week ago and they expect to sell thousands of them today.

2. Are you an Uber driver? One insurance company is expanding coverage for Uber drivers in Michigan.

Allstate insurance is offering insurance for both Uber drivers and passengers. The expanded coverage is to ensure the entire cycle of an Uber trip; from when a driver picks up a customer, to drop-off.

The coverage also includes its food delivery service.

Riders will be protected under Allstate's policies, at no additional cost, every time they call Uber for a ride.

3. A West Michigan athlete is heading to compete in one of the top snowmobiling competitions in the world. 12-year-old Jerzie Zielinski got her first sled at age 5, and she's been riding non-stop ever since.

The Twin Lakes native has spent almost every winter weekend at the track, which has helped her become the top snowmobiler in the state for her age group.

Now she's hoping to up her ranking this week, as she travels to the biggest snowmobile race of the year, the Theisen's SnoCross National in Iowa. Jerzie leaves on Thursday for the race.
